SS&S 808: There is joy in the service of Jesus
1. There is joy in the service of Jesus
our Lord,
There is joy in reposing our faith in His word;
There is joy in confiding our all to
His care,
There is joy in sweet answers to prayer.
There is joy in the service of Jesus our Lord,
There is fulness of joy and eternal reward;
There is joy that abideth, our souls know it well,
There is joy that we never can tell.
2. There is joy when we slumber, and joy
when we wake, [for His sake;
There is joy when we suffer reproach
Though our pathway through life may
be toilsome and long,
We will brighten the journey with song.
3. There is joy when He calls us His
workers to be, [we can see;
There is joy in affliction — His hand
There is joy in temptation, for then
we can hide
In His arms, who was tempted and tried.

(SS&S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns
Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
